Hello Everyone: Note: comp.sys.cbm did not exist in usenet. I now send e-mails via comp.sys. amiga for all commodores. Last December, I used my commodore 128 with my 1571 disk drive. I tried copy my file to other diskette by using PIP A:=E:<file>. pip loaded and run then it tried to copy it and it gave me fatal error message: ERROR: I/O DISK ERROR. I tried copy a file again and it gave me the same message. I turned off and on my commodore 128. I tried to dir my normal diskette. 1571 displayed green led brief. I tried to type PRINT DS$ and it gave me that 71, DRIVE NOT READY, 00, 00 but diskette already is in. I took my 1571 to repair shop. The techinaian said that 1571 have bad machinism defective and head defective. It costs me $130. He said me that I should call Commodore Techinal Center for manfacturing defective. I did not drop or abuse it but motor jammed in my 1571! What happens with my 1571??? He at MVS electroncs at Irwin, Pa said me that I should call Commodore for free parts. Should I pay $130 for fix my 1571? Next Day, He at MVS Electronics said that found other upper head defective. He believe that my 1571 had major manfacturing defective but my 1571 is 6 months old after I bought it in May 1987. Who made mistaken to build 1571 drives? I believe that workers at your company build 1571 drives careless! -- Tim Stark +==============================================================================+ | Timothy Stark | BitNet: 11TSTARK@GALLUA.BITNET | | Gallaudet University | Internet: 11TSTARK%GALLUA.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU | | P.O.
